The residency will begin with the post-AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door edition of Dynamite on Wednesday, August 27 and conclude with the Thursday, September 11 taping of AEW Collision.

"We are thrilled to bring AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision to the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia from August 27 – September 11. This residency has been years in the making, highlighted by an overwhelming demand from both fans and media alike for this legendary venue to host AEW events.  I look forward to returning to the 2300 Arena for the first time since I was 13 years old and bring our passionate fans in Philadelphia an incredible few weeks of AEW shows this summer," Tony Khan said.

Due to the 2300 Arena's iconic status, pro wrestling events continue to be regularly held at the venue. WWE NXT, MLW, TNA, and NJPW have all held shows at the venue in recent years. Tony Khan revealed following AEW Dynasty - the promotion's first pay-per-view in Philadelphia - that he was very interested in running events from the former ECW Arena.
